Tanarra is a Managing Director at Accenture Interactive, leading Design in the Midwest. Over her 20+ year career, she’s designed everything from corporate education programs to healthcare apps to business models, both as a consultant and as a member of “in-house” design teams.

Today, she uses design every day to lead a dynamic design practice service clients in the Midwest, influencing clients globally, working to change businesses, experiences, products, and leave the world a little better than she found it. Hopefully.
